Description: Harley Earl's creations, such as the tailfins of the 1958 Cadillac Biarritz are instantly recognisable. He was the man who gave the American car of the 1950's its distinctive flash and swagger, all tailfins, twotone color and chrome. This book begins with Earl's early years working with his father building custom cars for Hollywood stars. Bayley then includes many stories, told by designers who worked under Earl's leadership as head of the General Motors styling studio from 1927 to 1957.
